The Boys Star Celebrates Father's Day With Perfect Homelander Post
The Boys' Antony Starr celebrates Father’s Day by sharing a fan edit of Homelander and Brightburn’s Brandon Breyer. Starr has played the antithesis of DC’s Superman, Homelander, for three seasons on Amazon Prime Video’s The Boys.

The Boys season 1 revealed Homelander to be the reason Billy Butcher joined forces with Grace Mallory and founded the titular group of Supe-busting vigilantes.

Suffice to say, Ryan won’t be celebrating Father’s Day this year.
